1t is an undoubted fact that most
noxious insects are guided by their
sense of smell to the places proper for
them to feed or deposite their eggs.
1t is to this popularity that many
odoriferous substances owe their sup
posed repellant powers. The insect is
not. strictly speaking, repelled. but the
stronger foreign odor DISCUSSES that of
its proper food and therefore it can not
find it. Thus any cheap but strong
smelling substance may check insect
ravages just as efiicaciously as some
thing much more expensive.-7roy

Cream Onions: Though onions are
rather tabooed article of diet among

they are large, cut into quarters and
pour over them scalding milk. in which
a pinch of soda has been stirred. Set
